LATIN1 and LATIN9 are almost the same, so unless you have Euro characters or some other corner cases in your data, you should just go ahead with this. Note that changing to SQL_ASCII, as you suggested in a later mail, is likely to break much more. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
[GENERAL] 8.1 build on Solaris has LATIN9?
Hi. I am curious how/why the Pg 8.1.1 build on Solaris SunOS $hostname 5.9 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250 chose LATIN9 charset as default. Of course we can override this and might if there's a good reason move to LATIN9 as default. Afraid though of having anything go flakey when we import the original DBs with LATIN1 encoding. I saw a message already during an import to the effect of can't do conversion...

Interesting, it was iso8859-15. I inidb a new cluster and this time, I get SQL_ASCII. This is without a hint of language or locale stuff in the ENV. Guessing the postgres user's env has changed since the original cluster creation.
